Watch your trans/t-case and differential vents.
Oh crap, thanks for the tip. I haven't used it yet and better crawl under to see what you're talking about!

Thanks!

Cool, I think I have to add this to my tool collection
I'll let you know how it works. There are many on the market and I hope this works well with my electric pressure washer (1.1 gpm at 3,000 psi).

subquark,

Worth every penny....especially where I live. The city uses hundreds of tons of red salt every winter and the state uses salt brine. 75% of the vehicles around here have rotted wheel well openings.

I recently traded in my 2012 Ford Escape that had 24K miles on it because of cancer starting to show on the left rear wheel well. :(
Glad to hear it works well for a very demanding situation.

Any tips on using it?

I suppose I'd only do it when It'll stay above freezing for a few hours (I park outside). My wife could possibly use it a bit colder, she parks in the garage but it's not heated or insulated, but we could use a space heater on days right around freezing (I'd dread that electricity bill!).

No special tricks to using it. I use mine with a 3000 PSI gas pressure washer. Several of the car washes here in town also have undercarriage washing systems. I go through those about once a week in the winter months.

I'll have to check out our car washes,I never thought about that.

Even though New England has a decent winter, I bet yours is more brutal. I live on the Dead last and the Atlantic moderates Portsmouth temperatures quite a bit.

But I did grow up in the country in Quebec where we once had a three week power failure during the winter!

Check to make sure your local carwash does not recycle water as some do. No need to get a pressure saltwater bath. in the winter.

What size are yours? I have some I bought for mine that are a bit looser in the holes than I hoped they would be. They're still in, but had just hoped for a tighter fit.
